FAQ Is Active FX right for you (versus traditional CO2?) Have a busy lifestyle? Can’t afford to take be away from work for an extended time? Do you want noticeable results, but will trade “perfect” results for less down-time? Do want a treatment for dyschromia (discoloration due to sun exposure, aging and photodamage)? Do you want tightening of the “crepe paper” (fine wrinkles) under your eyes? What are the benefits? ActiveFX is a procedure that combines the gold standard laser for resurfacing with fractional coverage. Fractional coverage means that only a fraction of the surface of our skin is actually treated by the laser. By leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin, you heal much quicker and you can get back to your busy lifestyle sooner. What can I expect? Most physicians perform the procedure in the office with a topical anesthetic cream that is applied 30-60 minutes before the ActiveFX procedure begins. There is little/no pain – most patients say they feel warmth similar to a sunburn. Most patients can drive themselves home. You can gently wash your face with cool water and you can shower normally. You should keep your skin moist (with Aquaphor or other ointment). With the washing and moisture regimen, your photodamaged skin will begin to flake off within a 2 days. After about 4-5 days, you skin surface will begin to “re-epitheliaze” and your doctor will probably let you wear make-up. Pinkness should be gone in about a week. Choose the range of resurfacing that is right for your lifestyle! Only the UltraPulse™ Encore ® system gives your doctor the versatility for a wide range of treatments. Do you need only light treatment for dyschromia (discoloration due to sun exposure or other photoaging), yet want to aggressively tighten the lines and laxity around your eyes? Do you want more aggressive treatment on “smoker’s lines” around the mouth, but only need a lighter treatment on your cheeks and forehead? Setting can be adjusted to meet your individual needs. What does the Active FX do? How does it work? Immediate Tightening – Studies show the procedure causes an immediate 30% shrinkage in damaged tissues. This means that skin laxity (looseness) is noticeably improved. Textural Improvement – Improve pore size, fine lines, modest scars, and other textural inconsistencies. Improved Tone – Studies prove the system is not only effective on dyschromia (discoloration from sun damage and aging) but also effective on actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous cells that may be invisible to the naked eye). New Collagen Formation – Because the system puts heat in the dermis (the lower layer skin), your body’s natural response is to increase collagen production. This gradual process of new collagen formation provides a nice secondary effect – tightening from the bottom upward. Most people look even better 3-5 months after the procedure – even without another treatment!
